Describe

The mechanical tee is a pipe fitting that is used in place of full-flow cast fittings. The grooved mechanical tee is constructed from ductile iron in two halves: one is the outlet, and the other is the strap. At the location of the branch or device, an oversized hole is drilled or cut into the pipe. An assembly of mechanical tees is assembled around the pipe, positioning the collar inside the hole and enclosing a rubber gasket designed to fit the particular piping system. By fastening the bolts, the branch becomes more secure. A mechanical tee is used to connect piping directly to a system. Designed to offer contractors excellent flexibility and cost savings, both in terms of labor and materials, these labor-saving pipe fittings are designed to save contractors time and costs.

Mechanical tee can be used when splitting or merging is needed. Firstly, open a hole on the steel pipe with a tapping machine, and then snap the mechanical tee into the hole, and the circumference of the hole is sealed by a sealing ring along the pipe wall. When the mechanical tee is connected, the gap between the mechanical tee and the hole should be checked, all parts should be even, and then tightened in place; the distance between the mechanical tee openings should not be less than 1m.

Mechanical tees help you retrofit and expand sprinkler systems.Tees are pipe fittings with three outlets—two in a line and a third 90 degrees between them. In fire sprinkler systems, a heavy main water line carries water through the building, and lighter branch lines distribute it to the sprinkler heads. Tees connect branch lines to the main lines, and account for various changes in elevation and the direction of pipe and water.

Threaded Mechanical Tee, the same function as the mechanical Tee. The only difference is one of the pipes is connected by the threads. JIANZHI threaded mechanical tee can work under the work pressure of 300 PSI or 363 PSI. Currently, there are several different colors such as red, blue, and silver. The surface can also be hot-dip galvanized or epoxy paint. Use environmentally friendly paint and carry out strict quality inspections. To provide high-quality products for each user is our aim.

Components of a mechanical tee

Mechanical tees have the same basic parts as grooved couplings—nuts and bolts, housings, and gaskets. In grooved couplings, the gasket fits around the circumference of the two butted pipes, and the housing holds them together end-to-end. Read our previous blog for more information on grooved piping systems. In mechanical tees, the gasket fits around the circumference of a hole drilled perpendicular (on the center line) to a pipe. The housing and its hardware secure the outlet to the drilled hole.

Some mechanical tees use a U-bolt instead of a lower housing. The U-bolt fits around the pipe in the same way the lower housing would. U-bolt mechanical tees can be good cost-saving alternatives.
